git-mailinfo: cut lines at ^M

This changes "eatspace()" to cut lines at the first ^M (\r, CR) character.

Normally it should make no difference at all, since even if you have a non-UNIX CR/LF end-of-line, it would have removed the ^M at the end of the line as whitespace.

The main reason for this patch is that I seem to have something buggy in my mail path (possibly fetchmail) which very occasionally causes the mail headers to have an appended "^M)" line. This silly thing works around it, and shouldn't hurt anything else.

The alternative would be to simply disallow control characters in the commit message (so that I would not commit these things by mistake).

Junio, feel free to ignore this. It shouldn't hurt, but admittedly it's a stupid hack for a problem that has nothing to do with git. The "disallow control characters" fix is probably better, if you prefer that I can do it that way instead.
